Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Booting process hangs on what seems to be the initialisation of network:
it remains on

Configuring network interfaces...ifup: waiting for lock on 
/run/network/ifstate.eth0

for a long time (I hence usually skip this phase with C-c). When logging
into the desktop, internet is available (through eth0).

The setup is very close to the default one (wicd is used).
